SNOW-CAD Creating and customizing tables and data Practice Question
Which THREE are benefits of extending a table rather than creating a new table from scratch?
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Supports creating multiple child tables from the same parent
Options B, C, and E are correct. Extending a table allows the child table to inherit all fields and relationships from the parent (C), enables adding new fields specific to the child without modifying the parent (E), and supports creating multiple child tables from the same parent (B). Option A is incorrect because although business rules and client scripts are inherited, they can be overridden and not all automatically apply without configuration. Option D is incorrect because child records do not automatically appear in parent table reports; reports must be configured to include child tables.
